PAINTING AND OtHER SURFACE TREATMENTS

As well as Deep Dye Coloring, ADDform can add various surface treatments to compliment the high quality 3D printed details. We can wet paint and apply advanced protective coatings.

 

Wet Painting:

Painting is an option for coating Multi Jet Fusion parts. Performing surface smoothing first will help achieve the best results with the least additional effort. Wet paints have excellent corrosion protection properties, good weather durability and mechanical and chemical resistances. 

Wet painting is a good way to treat the surface of a piece that cannot be treated by other types of paint due to its material or components. For example, the heat resistance or size and weight class of a piece may prevent the application of a powder coating. Wet painting can also be chosen due to special properties required by the selected colour or special paint properties.

Advanced Protective Coatings:

ADDform can support their clients by applying Advanced protective coatings. Advanced protective coatings provide tailored functionalities not found in traditional paints, coatings, or surface treatments i.e.

Hydrophobicity

Superhydrophobicity

Oleophobicity

Superoleophobicity

Anti-soiling

Self-healing

Fog resistance

Self-cleaning (or easy-to-clean)

Scratch resistance

Anti-corrosion

Anti-icing

Metal coating

Coatings are easy to use and can increase productivity and efficiency by reducing maintenance and extending the service life of your parts.
